Can NI motion controller support AC Servo motor ???

[angelguard]

I need to use the AC servo motor to build a machine.

I can't find any information about how to use the NI motion controller to control the AC Servo motor.

Please help me....

thx

Do motion controller support AC servo motor ???

[LV_Pro]

The NI motion controller board doesn't connect directly to the motor, there is a power driver unit that does that. What the motion controller board does is convert position messages from the program into control signals to control the power driver, and then read back position information (from position encoders) to help control the motion signals.

What type of AC servo motor are you planning on using?

There is a "motion control and motor drive" thread where those that are more knowlegable in this can be found. This thread tends to attract those that are LabVIEW fans.

P.M.

Thank you for you reply.

I know the motion Controller need a dirve to connect the motor.

I have read the drive advisor in NI's webpage.

However, It does not mention which drive support AC servo.

By the way, the motor advisor only list the DC servo.

It make me doubt about if there is any drive for the NI motion controller support AC servo.

Our company want to use the motors and drives which were tested before or suggested by NI.

I hope there will be someone tell me which drive can use AC servo.

Thank you very much for you help.

Hey Angelguard,

If by AC Servo Motors, you mean Brushless Servo motors, then yes we do have a list of drives that we have found compatible for Brushless Servo Motor systems. You can find a list of these drives under the Drive Advisor. If you think that the Brushless Servo Motors are not AC Servo Motors, then please check out the following Knowledgbase document: What Is the Difference between Brushed and Brushless Servo Motors?

I hope this has answered your question. Please let me know if this does not answer your question, or if there is anything else that I can help you with. Thanks and have a great day.

Hi,

I have a similar query but with a little more info. I am new to motion Control. Recently we have been contacted by the oil industry who have been using Masterfil (Model S5000-A 8HD P/V Poppet Servo Drive Machine) products. One of the Drives is malfunctioning.

DRIVE:

HMK

TYPE: IRT1318.EMC

SER. NO. C12817H.12438

Type: IRT 1318 - MONOBLOCK

CONT. MAX. CURRENT 17.4/34.7 Arms

SER. NO. 8316.100.13180/12438

MOTOR:

SEM (HIGH RESPONSE BRUSHLESS SERVO MOTOR)

SEM LONDON SE26 5AS

TYPE: HR142E6-130S

NO.: W45566

C.STALL TORQUE: 16 NM 10.5 A

MAX: 5400 RPM 700 V 53 A

FEEDBACK RES. F00 IP 64/65 IC 400

BRAKE 24 VDC, 18 NM C98-78044

SEM is a Brushless AC (220 V 3 phase) servomotor. We have to re-automate the machine that fills 8 bottles per minute, so we might need a new drive (infeed, feedback) mechanism. The Servo Motor is runnig, only the drive has to be replaced. The servo helps pull out a specified volume of oil, and then fills it into the 8 plastic bottles. I will appreciate if someone could advise which model of drives will fit the above motor specifications? And then what type of hardware/software platform (NI or other) will be applicable for the control of the drive and other signals?? And where to look for further help??

Your urgent response and help shall be highly appreciated.

Regards,
